The End Might be Near*. Better Play Some Games!

We don't really know if the Mayans were right
Will the 21st be the Earth's final night?
If it really is, we know we'd want to be
Spending our last hours enjoyably

The end of the world, and the bundles we bring
Are a wondrous package--an incredible thing
All the daily deals for the whole month today shine
We've even brought ones from the future in asynchronous time

Of all of the days of the year 2012
This is the one for gamers just like yourselves
To pick up some games before the world ends
And spend your last day having fun times with friends

Some say the world ends in fire--or ice
We think that neither ending sounds nice
If the world has to end--neither frozen nor flaming
The world should end in a way that says: gaming!

There's and [url=https://secure.gog.com/gamecard/the_witcher_2]Witcher, and and [url=https://secure.gog.com/gamecard/duke_nukem_3d_atomic_edition]Duke
And Deus Ex, , or [url=https://secure.gog.com/gamecard/thief_gold]Thief
So before the world leaders launch thousands of nukes
Spend a few moments and suspend disbelief

Theme Hospital, , [url=https://secure.gog.com/gamecard/caesar_3]Caesar 3 and Trine
It sure was nice living, but we're just out of time
Ultima Games, from 1 to game 9
The aliens are invading--we must hold the line!

, [url=https://secure.gog.com/gamecard/wing_commander_1_2]Wing Commander, and indie FTL
Crusaders and Heroes of Magic and Might
The end is approaching boys; see you in hell
Bruce Willis can't save us from this meteorite

Quests for Kings and for Space and for Heroes and Glory
and [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/telltale_adventures]Telltale
The abyss is erupting--this will surely be gory
Frogs are raining down in amphibious hail

The world may be ending, our last day is nigh
So take this last chance to play games 'till you die!


*GOG.com in no way endorses The End of The World. We like it here. If you have a Death Star, a Death Ray, or a fleet of Cyber T-rexes with Lasers, please don't destroy the Earth right now. At least wait until we release that game that everyone's waiting for. And that one, too. No, that one probably will never happen.

actually not that many games that I would want or don't have yet... I guess I'm ready for the armageddon already :D

Belated Halloween bundle is awesome! And few others also great :) Thanks gog for this present!

high rated
To all those nagging about the 75% thing:

I don't really understand this complaining about how you "only" get 50% off when not buying the whole bundle.
First off, games on GOG are realatively low priced in general. On top of that, here you get that already low price halved for almost every game for 3 weeks. I'd call that a pretty good deal. And as a special deal, if you buy the whole bundle you get the price halfed again. That's enough to make the whole bundle cheaper than if you leave one or two games out.
And now you're saying that this is still not enough of a discount.

"It would be better if they had every single game on 75% off than just the whole bundle" This is quite ungrateful, and in my opinion even insolent. You know who else, when given something nice, bluntly ask for more instead of saying "thank you"? Little children who have yet to learn good manners.

"But there are games in the bundle I'm not interessted in / I don't want all those extra games in my library"
Like I said before, even if you leave out a few games (up to half the relative value of the games!), the bundle is still cheaper. So what's the worst thing that can happen if you buy the whole bundle? You have games lying around in your library. But what can happen, and I think that this is one of the (ulterior) motives behind this, is that you try out new games you wouldn't have normally bought.

So stop being such cheapskates, it's not like you're getting ripped off.

keeveek: Halloween bundle with Gabriel Knights and Phantasmagorias is simply amazing, but I don't have any money today. But as I see it's a bundle from the future, right? :P

TheEnigmaticT: It is, actually. I won't tell you when--because I don't recall--but it will return again.
So, what, that means that all of the promos have been laid out on the table? All of the ones that we're seeing today that we haven't seen yet are one of the future Christmas daily promos so there will be no more surprises? That's a bit of a downer...

Well, bloody hell.

This will probably be ignored, but anyway:

Can we expect a sports/racing bundle in the forthcoming daily deals, or exclusively the bundles that are available today?

dquadros: Is it a good bargain to get the Indie ROGs for NaN ?
Not really. If a number isn't sufficient to describe the price you pay for them, then it's probably too much. :P

The only bundles we will have are the bundles that you see. We've arranged them here for you even though they are not, strictly speaking by linear time, due to show up yet.

EDIT: TurnipSlayer points out that I'm lying. There is one last bundle that does not show up here.

One.

Of course I won't tell you what games those are. Then I wouldn't be the Enigmatic T.

One promo to end them all!
Posted December 19, 2012
When displaying the Indie RPGs bundle, I get "$NaN" (Not a Number in programming languages) for Inquisitor and Divinity 2 when all the games are selected. The price for the pack is "$NaN" too (not sure how much I would be charged...).
When unselecting one game so they get back to the -50% price, they have a correct price.

That is the only bundle deal that seems like good value to me. Gabriel Knight is something i've had my eye on for a long while, but do i want Phantasmagoria 1+2 and it's added expense? No thanks.

Well, amazing promo but it looks like the only thing I might buy are some Telltale Adventures - by the way, this one is not a bundle, it's 80% off in any game.
Posted December 19, 2012
Gee this is quite overwhelming..

Time to start climbing this mountainous sale and see what's going on.

Same here, but only with Legends of Grimrock and Divinity 2 ;-) Legends of Grimrock shows the correct sale price, but Divinity gets $NaN at 75% off.

cjones666: Wow! I think my GOG collection has reached critical mass. There are only 2 games in this entire sale that I'm vaguely interested in picking up. The rest I already own or just am not interested in. Another great day of deals, however!

If you didn't put up your display picture, I would have mistaken you for that other Chris Jones :X
